Sheesham and Lotus & Son Perform LIVE in Bar Harbor

Rupununi an American bar & grill Bar Harbor Maine, 119 Main Street. May 9, 2013: Sheesham and Lotus & Son are enthusiastic historians of old-time fiddle and banjo music, who have spent time traveling and learning from the old masters across the regions south of the Mason-Dixon Line. The music of Sheesham and Lotus could be described as American roots music. They play fiddle and banjo respectively, with an additional array of home-made curiosities of noise-makery, horns for singing, harmonicas, jaw-harps and more. Sheesham is a maker of gourd banjos and fiddles, and Lotus plays an invention called the contra-bass harmoniphoneum, which is a self-contained bass-harmonica and euphonium horn which can be used while plucking a banjo.
